AirAsia Palawan island transfer service
Starting December 19, AirAsia passengers bound for Palawan, El Nido, and Sabang from Puerto Princesa International Airport can buy tickets for island transfer service on board the airline’s 4x daily flights between Manila and Puerto Princesa, it was learned.
AirAsia and Lexxus shuttle service have partnered to provide exclusive land transfers for AirAsia passengers arriving at Puerto Princesa International Airport directly to their hotel without the hassles of long queues and irregular public transits, AirAsia said in a news release.
Island transfer service is available on board all AirAsia flights between Manila and Puerto Princesa for P700 one way per person for El Nido and P300 for Sabang. Upon arrival at the airport, an air-conditioned van will bring passengers to their preferred destination and drop off points in Sabang Wharf and El Nido town proper. Additional charges, however, shall apply for transport service located outside these stations.

Good memory Fred
Sale of the land didn't go through in the end, although it was a great place. Logistically it would have been a nightmare, no road access only by boat. The new road is planning on being built and the airport and San Vicente is said to be a new international airport, but as I've learned this is all done on a Philippino time scale

i do intend to visit so many places once we are there full time, but with only 1 month and the family to see and to help Ems dad too, its going to be hard to go to the places i would like to see, plus who is coming with us too,
If its just me and Ems it would be so easy,
Whats the saying, MARRY A ORPHAN, its cheaper long term

23rd December 2014 #8SAN VICENTE, Palawan—Imagine trekking along 14 kilometers of unspoiled powdery white sand with nothing but the vast expanse of the West Philippine Sea and endless rows of lush forests and old coconut trees on both sides.
If you insist on been-there-done-that bragging rights, Palawan province’s Long Beach should top your list even before the first hotel hove into view and upbeat party music supplanted poignant evenings.
It’s easy to tell this place is going to transform in a big way. A
2-km-runway airport nearby is due for completion this year and promises to dramatically boost tourist traffic. The cementing of the access road from the capital of Puerto Princesa City, or what used to be a decrepit logging road through old growth forest, is just about finished and will effortlessly link the place to the urban hub.
Most notably, the tourism industry’s big guys are already on board. They have figured this place out long before the first backpackers wandered into it. Among them was Anscor, which is into high-end island-resort development. They have locked in the prime locations along Long Beach, pouring in an estimated P1 billion in acquisitions in the last five years, according to local officials.
“There is no doubt that Long Beach is destined to become a world-class tourist destination. With its 14.7-km-long pristine stretch of beach, it is one of the longest, if not the longest, white-sand beach in the Philippines,” San Vicente Mayor Pie Alvarez told the Inquirer.
Alvarez is presiding over a meticulous planning process, which she hopes will ensure that tourism development can take place in Long Beach with optimum benefits to the local economy, “without sacrificing the environment.”
“We wish to learn from the best practices of tourism destinations around the world and create our own unique destination,” Alvarez said.

We visited Palawan (El Nido Resorts at Apulit Island) and the journey was a challenge to say the least.
We left Manila on the 7am island transvoyager flight to El Nido, we then had a minibus trip for 90 mins to Taytay bay and then 1 hour on a boat to Apulit Island.
Awesome resort - stunning coral reefs, amazing service - I really can't find a bad word about it (apart for the trip down).
